Jerome Gambit: Everything Happens Quickly


White is new to the Jerome Gambit, but you would not be able to tell that from the way that he quickly finishes off his opponent. Of course, in a 1-minute game, everything happens quickly.

1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.Bxf7+ 



4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke6 7.Qf5+ Kd6 8.f4 Nh6 



In bullet chess, what first comes to mind is often what gets played. Here, Black thinks Hit the Queen! and goes with it.

White calmly decides to Hit the King!

9.Qxe5+ Kc6 10.Nc3 Re8 



This was Black's last chance. He should have tried 10...d6, instead.

11.Qd5+ Kb6 12.Na4+ Kb5 13.Qxc5+ Kxa4 14.b3 chekmate



Very nice.
